Pretty Potted Purply Pansies

The groundhog didn't see his shadow? But it is so cold now! What about now?

Actually, I am really fortunate to be south of most of the cold weather. I decided to get out the oil paints and paint some cold weather friends...Pansies! These delicate, lovely flowers are among my very favorites. It really makes me smile to see them peering out from under the frost every morning, defying the cold weather. (Of course, here cold weather means any time it falls below 40 degrees).

Still, I enjoy these multicolored blooms every year, and was inspired to record them in this small daily oil painting.

Thanks for looking!
